Studying in Tokyo: From Provoking to Succubus

Chapter 49 Interview
There are five interviewers for Wakaida Agency's high school girl idol group project, four men and one woman.

All five of them are well-known figures in the entertainment industry, and their current job is to train a "girls high school idol group" that can become popular all over the country.

The only woman among the five is called 'Yuko Mita', 37 years old, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, with a mature and royal sister style and sharp eyes. She is an agent with a unique vision who has been hanging around in the backstage of major idol groups for many years.

"The interview is about to begin." Before she could finish her words, the door opened again.

The front desk receptionist walked in with Kawai Mion.

Yuko Mita looked at the high school girl with surprise. She was tall and had a determined look in her eyes. Just a casual glance at her revealed that this girl was different.

"You're here for an interview, right? Please find an empty seat and sit down." Yuko Mita pointed to the high stool against the opposite wall and said to her.

"Okay." Kawai Mion bowed to her politely, then trotted to the empty seat over there and sat down.

"Okay, then the interview officially begins," she shouted.

Then the man sitting in the middle seat took out a stack of information sheets and looked at the information on them with a calm expression.

"The first interviewer is Matsumura Yuka, please come here." The man said, and pointed to the open space in front.

A cute girl with short hair stood up, walked to the table of five interviewers, and clasped her hands together nervously.

The first interview was really nerve-wracking.

All five interviewers picked up the information about Matsumura Xixia in front of them and started the interview.

I first did a quick check of her appearance and found that she was a cute girl, about 1.6 meters tall.

"Hello, Matsumura-san, do you have any special skills?" The man in the middle smiled politely.

"I can sing." Matsumura Yuxia shouted nervously.

"Could you please sing a few lines on the spot?" The man in the middle still showed a polite and kind smile.

"Ok."

The whole audience focused their attention on the cute girl named Matsumura Yuka and started singing.

It is a currently popular song with sweet voice and uniform tone.

Kawai Mion was slightly surprised, and a sudden pressure surged into her heart.

"Her voice is so nice. There are so many people here. They all must have great talents."

"Will I really be accepted into the interview?" She clenched her hands nervously. She wished Li Xin was by her side at this moment. She wanted to hold his hand and see the smile on his face.
Although it was just an imagination, she calmed down. As long as she got the interview, she would immediately run to Li Xin's house to report the news. Maybe she would see Li Xin's surprised, shocked, and jaw-dropping expression!

She was secretly proud of herself.

Matsumura Yuxia stopped singing after singing a few sentences.

The five interviewers looked at each other and nodded silently.

"Mr. Matsumura, what is your family situation like? Do your parents support you becoming a female high school idol?" asked the male interviewer sitting on the far right.

"Yes, they support me. My father drove me here today." Matsumura Yuxia nodded and replied.

"Matsumura-san, may I ask why you want to be a high school idol?"

"Ah? Because I'm handsome and I want to stand on the stage and show myself." Matsumura Yuxia was stunned at first, but immediately answered confidently.

"Matsumura-san, how are you doing in school?"

“It’s OK, it’s at an average level.”

The five interviewers asked several questions in succession, and finally nodded and looked at the female interviewer, Yuko Mita, with tacit eyes.

"Matsumura-san, let me be frank with you. You can only sing and not play any other instruments. Your understanding of music is limited to what you learned in music class at school. It will be difficult for you to successfully compete in the idol industry. So, you failed the interview. I hope you don't lose heart." Mita Yuko said bluntly, looking calmly at the lovely and beautiful girl Matsumura Yuka.

Matsumura Yuxia's expression froze, and she showed a moment of loss without leaving a trace, and then she laughed awkwardly.

"Okay, thank you all teachers." Matsumura Yuxia turned around and left, opened the door and walked out directly.

The other female high school students shuddered when they saw this scene. It was so strict and merciless.

Several girls who, like Matsumura Yuka, could only sing but had little understanding of music, had already begun to feel timid. Kawai Mion silently thought about her own talents.

I can sing, but I don't know much else. I've only just started learning guitar and I'm not very good at it.

One by one they were called forward for the interview.

One cute girl after another showed their talents. Many were directly rejected, but there were also a few very talented girls who could play guitar, piano, and dance. They had beautiful voices and were very beautiful. They seemed like born idols.

"Next one, Kawai Mion." The male interviewer in the middle called out.

When her name was called, Kawai Mion quickly stood up and walked forward.

The five interviewers all looked at the only girl in the room wearing a school uniform.

It was obvious that this girl had just rushed here after school. The other girls had been preparing for today for a long time and had taken leave to come here.

The five interviewers first took a look at Kawai Mion's appearance.

She has a beautiful face, a tall figure and good temperament, so her appearance must be good.

Yuko Mita looked at Minon Kawai more carefully, and a sense of anticipation inexplicably rose in her heart. Her intuition from years of working in the idol industry told her that the girl in front of her was very different.

"Student Kawaichi, do you have any talents?" asked the male interviewer in the middle.

"Sing." Kawai Meiyin said.

The interviewer didn't say anything, just nodded and asked her to sing a few lines.

Kawai Mion immediately adjusted her breathing and chose to sing a few lines of "Little Love Song".

Hiro no universe no number ある一つ～
As soon as the voice came out, the interviewers were slightly surprised.

Among them, Yuko Mita nodded with satisfaction.

The evaluation of singing is divided into 4 categories: bad, average, good, and unique.

The most basic requirement for being an idol is to have a good singing voice, but this threshold is still too low. Only those with "uniqueness" can be competitive in singing. A good voice is too easy to be replaced, and a distinctive voice will be immortal. Your voice is your voice, and fans only like your singing, which can never be replaced by other singers.

After singing a few simple lines and perfectly demonstrating her singing ability, Kawai Mion stopped and looked at the interviewers with some trepidation.

"Besides singing, do you know any other instruments? How well do you know about music? If you were asked to discuss the arrangement of a song with musicians such as drummers, guitarists, and bassists, would you be able to chat with them?" asked the male interviewer on the far right.

"I've been learning guitar recently," said Kawai Mion.

The interviewers silently glanced at the bandages on her left hand fingers. These were injuries from practicing guitar, and it was obvious that she had just learned it recently.

"If I discuss with musicians, I should be able to do it. I have absolute pitch and understand the basic music knowledge, and I am a quick learner." Kawai Minone said, carefully observing the interviewer's expression.

Absolute pitch. The interviewers were quite surprised that someone actually came to the interview and said that he had absolute pitch.

Absolute pitch is indeed a great talent, and it makes learning various musical instruments very easy.

The female interviewer, Yuko Mita, took out her mobile phone, opened the piano software, turned up the volume to the maximum, and then shifted her eyes to Kawai Mion's face.

"Student Chuanhe, can I press a few notes and you read out the names of the notes?" she asked.

"Okay." Kawai Mion nodded.

Seeing this, Yuko Mita just pressed a white key at random.

Kawai Mion listened for a moment, then said decisively: "Fa"

Yuko Mita nodded silently, then played quickly with her fingers, playing a short discordant melody.

Kawai Mion closed her eyes and recalled for a moment, then said: "fa, la, mi, lower la, lower si, do"

"Ha, ha ha." Hearing this precise answer, Yuko Mita laughed subconsciously, then turned to look at her colleague with a subtle expression.

Her colleagues all understood what she meant. She was saying that this girl was amazing and a genius.
